Notes
Studio recording, 2012-2013. Gear confirmed for Rob Caggiano's Volbeat era, but no direct source ties this exact rig to 'Cape of Our Hero' recording session. No evidence of alternate guitars/amps for the riff section. Settings estimated based on genre, era, and known rig.

Difficulty
The riff requires tight, articulate palm muting and precise alternate picking at a moderate tempo, demanding good right-hand control and dynamic consistency for the modern metal sound.
